Rears its ugly head outside a major League Baseball Game. Hear from someone who was there when it happened. Tomorrow or a week from now or two weeks from now itll be someone else. And we begin in Western Europe where a desperate search for survivors is under way following those devastating floods. At least 160 people are now confirmed dead. Hundreds of others still unaccounted for. Rising waters, landslides and Power Outages making Rescue Efforts more difficult. The dutch Red Cross supporting residents in the city. 10,000 people ordered to evacuate their homes on friday due to surging river waters. Meanwhile cleanup has begun in areas where waters have receded revealing whats been lost to the rushing waters. Homes, roads, bridges, even ceme cemeteries swept away. One local official calls this flood a catastrophe of historic proportion. And in the coming hours the chancellor Angela Merkel will see it firsthand. The search continues for those still missing. What is the latest . Reporter well, the latest is the Death Toll still stands at 17 in belgium. More than 100 missing according to authorities. That search goes on. They keep finding last night they found other bodies, so it is continuing. At the same time that cleanup does go on. In fact, we had to move upriver a bit from yesterday where they are progressing with the cleanup. But here you can see the destruction remains. And i talked to somebody in his window over there just a couple minutes ago. He still doesnt have water. He has power. Thats been restored since yesterday. But there is still no water. We went to Pipinster Yesterday which is very hard hit, nearby, and we took a look at the cleanup. Take a look at what we saw. In this small town in the alden region of belgium, the cleanup is under way after the terror and the struggle to survive catastrophic flooding, residents here are finding whats left of their belongings covered in mud. The first step in piecing their lives back together. We are emptying the basements. They were completely flooded, and now were trying to recover especially my Daughters Bakery Equipment that was flooded. Were trying to recover what can be recovered, but almost everything has been lost. Not much left of some gardens either turned into virtual junk yards by the flood. But theres help from other locals. Small brigades armed with shovels, brooms and buckets. We do our best to keep going, to keep going and to keep the morale high. And we keep going. Were getting a lot of help from volunteers, people that we absolutely dont know and stop to help us. Now theyre emptying the mud that was in the basement. Its really a beautiful act of generosity. And theres help coming from the belgium government and the European Union as officials tour the devastation. Now important as youre seeing the destruction, important is had reconstruction. This were in for a long haul, but We Standby the side of people who are concerned in this region and not only this region. Reporter the belgium government has earmarked millions for the reconstruction, but will that help be enough . Were officials prepared for this disaster, and will they be in the future . We will have to look at how frequent we think in the future events like this can happen. This is 200 years ago something like this happened. But what the future will look like well have do the correct analysis. Reporter analysis of not only what should have been done but what impact Climate Change will have. And the impact is also continuing today where lots of people are out there helping to cleanup. But there is a call by the government saying that, please, if you do want to help, contact the Red Cross. Please do not clog the roads with more traffic, blocking the Rescue Efforts. So despite all the help we saw, the government would like to see people do it in a little bit more systematic way through the Red Cross, which would facilitate the search for more victims. Michael . All right, chris, thank you. Chris burns there in belgium for us. Now in Germany Christopher has been involved in operations as a member of the german Lifesaving Association known as dlrg. He joins me now in germany, and thanks for doing so. I was curious, what were the challenges for Rescue Groups like yours when these floods hit . Good morning. Those challenges first of all was getting into those sites. The destruction there is tremendous. Our people, our team they dont usually see a lot of sites in germany. Even with our equipment, with the special bulks it was very difficult sometimes to get into those heights. And what sort of rescues do your team and others carry out . We have almost 1,000 people on our sites in the last couple days, and it was different assignments we had. And first of all it was about rescuing people who got stuck. There were truckers who got stuck in their trucks, the flood all around them. There were people in their houses, and also there were people who were in the water who had to be saved from drowning. What was your reaction to the level of damage . I mean as you mention infrastructure and so on. I mean just how bad is it . Can you give us a sense . Well, i think its pretty bad. Ive seen some sights myself during the last two days. And ive never seen that so far. And eight years ago 2013 we had a big flooding in east part of germany. But whats happening there right now in the western part, its now being compared to what ive seen in 2013. What would you say are the main needs right now for those who have been affected . Obviously shelter for those who lost their homes, but what other pressing needs have you seen . Of course shelter is very important but also the power is a problem, and Drinking Water is brought in. The infrastructure got hit pretty hard. So that includes mobile system and of Course Power and Drinking Water. Have you thought about how we need to be better prepared for these events in the future . Because all indications are these extreme weather changes will happen more and more often, right . Yeah, they will happen more often. And in germany were quite prepared very well. But the problem in this situation right now was the speed of the flooding. The water came in so quickly, and you cant send in those special troops within like 10 minutes, 30 minutes. So the speed was was unbelievable. And that was the biggest difficulty. So our special teams there equipped pretty well. There are people from military, federal, local and state authorities on the sites. So were prepared pretty good. But that was just too fast. Well, im sure a lot of people appreciate the work you and your organization did. I appreciate you spending time with us. Of course, thank you. All right, now in washington, d. C. Saturday nights major League Baseball Game between the nationals and the padres came to a sudden stop as gunfire erupted outside the stadium. Police say at least three people were wounded, but there did not appear to be an ongoing threat. Confusion sweeping through the stadium as players suddenly left The Field at the bottom of the sixth. Even though everyone was told to stay inside the stadium, you could see dozens of people scrambling into the dugouts and the exits to get out of there. Nervous fans later given the allclear to safely leave after initially being told to stay put. The game was suspended until sunday afternoon. A Cnn Politics Reporter and editor at large. Chris, you were there. How did this all play out in the stadium . Reporter yeah, odd situation. It was the middle of the sixth inning, and there were some loud bangs. I was sitting off the third baseline and there were some loud bangs behind us right in a row. But they were supposed to do fireworks after the game tonight, so i think most people didnt think anything of it. But then suddenly a lot of people in left field started jumping out and trying to get out of the center field gate. And then for the next about 8 to 10 minutes i think people no one knew what was happening. You saw people hiding we were sort of crouched behind our seats down the third baseline. And not a lot of information. The players were taken out of the dug out. Some came out to get their families and grab them and bring them under the stadium. So there just wasnt any information. Eventually they came over the pa and said they believed the shooting was outside the stadium. But for 8 to 10 minutes it was a pretty scary situation, michael. Yeah, i can imagine. And the players i saw some video of the players actually reacting. You could hear what turned out to be gunshots and the players reacting. What happened on The Field . Yeah, i mean so it was in between innings. So it was right at the padres made their third out. People were sort of, you know, doing what you do in the middle of a hot, humid night in washington. Stretching, getting food. And there was this commotion, and it looked like it was sort of where i was sitting we were on the lower deck, the second deck. And all of a sudden to our left you just saw people streaming out. I think it was really more people just hearing things and not knowing what to do and realizing it was a serious situation. But we really didnt have a whole lot of information. And so by the time i looked back on The Field all the players were off. But i will tell you a lot of people just jumped on The Field and ran into the dug outs. And again, i think the issue was no one knew what that situation was. You know, no one knew if there was someone with a gun in the stadium. Theres Metal Detecters and that sort of thing. So, you know, i thought that would be unlikely, but at that point no one really knew. And they werent saying anything over the public address system. So it was sort of a there was an Information Deficit and i think a lot of people just panicked. Yeah. And twitter was doing its thing, too, which is not always accurate information. So that always happens in this situation. Big picture, and i know youve written about this, too. Something like this speaks to what a constant Dream Beat of Gun Violence in the United States. Daily, endless, deadly and its pretty much every single day. Yeah, i mean, look, obviously ive written and covered it a lot. Its different to we in the middle of it. But, you know, in major cities across the United States crime is extremely high. Theres an epidemic of Gun Violence in this country. Its not like this anywhere else in the world. And, you know, tonight it was us, but tomorrow or a week from now or two weeks from now itll be someone else, and thats the scary bit. I think for americans it becomes white noise. Its around you its a wake up. Chris alizza, thanks so much. Glad youre safe. Thank youmism.

Now, on Monday England is due to lift every social distancing restriction. People will be able to return to restaurants, bars and public life and do so without masks. But Life Isnt back to normal yet. The Delta Variant fueling a new surge in infections. On saturday the u. K. Actually reported more than 54,000 cases, the highest number in six months. Phil black with more. Reporter the u. K. s daily confirmed cases continues to climb dramatically. Almost 55,000 were reported saturday. Among those to test positive recently is man whose job it is to coordinate efforts against the pandemic here. The u. K. Health secretary he says hes fully vaccinated and his symptoms are mild and hes isolating at home with family. He has tested positive just as the government is tet to embark on an unprecedented experiment. In england from Monday Pandemic restrictions disappear, life effectively unlocks even while people here are still enduring a surging wave of infections. No other country has sought to Restore Freedoms in these circumstances. And there is tremendous uncertainty. The governments own scientific advisers have said they dont know just how this is likely to play out because ultimately it will come down to the people and how they choose to behave, how cautiously they choose to behave. Now theyre no longer being told precisely what to do. The government hopes widespread Vaccination Coverage will prevent soaring infections from translating into high numbers of people requiring treatment in hospital. But critics, scientists here and overseas simply dont buy that. They believe this plan is unethical. They say the Delta Variant is so contagious that inevitably vast numbers of people are going to be falling ill in the near future, and many of them will be seriously ill. The government has also been warned by its own scientific advisers about potential consequences for the whole world. They say this move creates the conditions in which an immune escaped variant is most likely to emerge. Theyre talking about a mutation of the coronavirus, a new variant that is better at beating existing vaccines. Phil black, cnn, essex, england. Now, cases are also on the rise across the u. S. Were seeing outbreaks in every single state. And Health Experts are stressing the need to get vaccinated. And thats because the overwhelming majority of people who are ending up in the hospital or dying because of the virus are indeed unvaccinated. A little more than 48 of the population here is fully vaccinated when you take a look at cdc data. That means theres a long way to go before hitting Herd Immunity which potentially starts at around 70 . U. S. Vaccination rates have barely budged recently. President biden blaming Social Media and facebook in particular for spreading vaccine misinformation. Hes even accusing them of, quote, killing people for not stopping it. Well, facebook responding, of course. The company claiming that, quote, 85 of facebook users in the u. S. Have been or want to be vaccinated against covid19. It goes onto Say PresidentBidens Goal was for 70 of americans to be vaccinated by july 4. Facebook is not the reason this goal was missed. Now, the nations leading Infectious Disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci, agrees misinformation is a problem. Heres what he told us. If we had had the pushback for vaccines the way were seeing on certain media i dont think it would have been possible at all to not only eradicate smallpox. We probably would still have smallpox, and we probably would still have polio in this country, if we had the kind of false information thats being spread now. If we had that back decades ago, i would be certain that wed still have polio in this country. With five days to go until the opening ceremonies in tokyo, two olympic athletes at the village have now tested positive for covid19. Olympic organizers have not revealed the names nor the nationalities of the positive cases. This coming as coronavirus cases are surging in tokyo and elsewhere in the country. And its raising fears the games could turn into a Super Spreader event. The Executive Board for the International Olympic Committee is meeting right now and is likely discussing those very concerns. We do expect to hear more from the Ioc President , thomas bach, in the coming hours when he hosts a news conference. Cnns Salina Wang joins me now live from tokyo to talk more about this. What more do we know about these Athletes Testing Positive . And how worrying is that as the Olympic Villages start to fill . Well, michael, No Thames have been disclosed for privacy reasons, but two Athletes Testing Positive in the Olympic Village. A third Athlete Testing positive who lives outside the Olympic Village, and this is as the total tally of covid19 cases related to the tokyo olympics continues to climb. Now 55 total with athletes, contractors and officials testing positive for covid19. Now, there is a long list of covid19 restrictions for everybody involved in these games. I visited the Olympic Village, michael, and its very much an antisocial sanitized bubble. Not at all the usual Partying And Celebration there with athletes asked to dine alone. But still major concerns about the way the village is designed including the sharing of rooms among athletes. I visited a suite where eight athletes will be living together, just 110 square meters. Now, officials are saying, though, theyre confident they can keep these participants separate from the general population. But the question moving forward is can they keep this up and contain these cases and prevent them from spreading . Very worrying. Of course when you talk about olympic atmosphere, arent there plans to improve on that given that the stadiums are going to be empty . Yeah, exactly, michael. Empty stadiums, no spectators allowed. Theyre still trying to create this crowdlike atmosphere with fake noises and virtual clapping. The ioc has said theyre going to be using recordings from previous olympics, recordings of the noise and playing them in the stands. Theyre also saying that fans can submit selfie videos that will be shown in the Olympic Stadiums. Theyll also show this live Cheer Map of people around the world virtually watching these games. So well see just what the atmosphere will look like with these virtual games. Its going to be weird. Salina wang in tokyo for us. Now, the long journey leading up to the olympics has been as we know riddled with problems. There was the global pandemic, of course, but also delays and costs and protests against the games. But the disappointment runs even deeper, and more personally for one man whose home was uprooted for the massive Olympic Stadium and for another man who spent thousands for tickets he wont be able to use.

Germany and belgium suffering the brunt of what was catastrophic flooding. Brejs have been washed out, homes and businesses destroyed. Entire villages were under water. But the Human Toll even more devastating. 160 people now confirmed dead, hundred of others missing. Emergency workers are racing to find survivors still unaccounted for. Listen to how one resident in a german town described the Rescue Efforts. The water was here so high that you couldnt go in with normal cars. They had special cars and went in and tried to get so many people as possible out of that area. The whole Night Helicopters were coming and even tried to pull out people there. Now, the once Scenic Town of altanair in germany has been ravaged by the floods. Now residents now banding together to clear whats been lost. Atika schubert with more. Reporter all day helicopters circle the once picturesque german town, nestled into the bends of the river. Now choked with mud and debris, Cut Off from neighboring towns without communication. Im happy that im alive. Reporter this is home for debra stretch, but her family in the u. K. Had no idea she had survived until they saw her on tv. Now shes delivering frugs cups of coffee to keep spirits up. I came over the mountain down here, and then i thought, oh, my god, unbelievable. I saw people crying. It was awful. It was really, really terrible. And everybodys walking this is our little town. Its gone. Its just gone. Reporter residents try to clear what they can, working with firefighters, police and soldiers. But the closer we get to the river, the greater the devastation. On a Hotel Wall the historic marker of the Water Level of the last Great Flood in 1910, that is now dwarfed by this catastrophe. To give you a sense of scale im standing at the banks of the river. This hotel right beside it had water all the way up to the third story. You can actually see the waterline right there marking how far up the Flood Waters got. This was no ordinary flood. The water took out chunks of the road, sweeping through the local cemetery. At least one house was carried away by the flood. Neighbors told us the body of the person who lived there was later found in a hillside vineyard. Restoring critical infrastructure is a top priority to get the help the town needs. Were trying to make this road passable again, explains first Staff Sergeant fenny. Over there you cant see it from here theres a Railway Bridge completely unusable, and on this side theres also a lot of damage. But we are taking some of the material here to stabilize that bridge and to facilitate movement of heavy equipment, he explains. But its not until we come around the bend that we see the sheer scale of their task. This here is a railway crossing, and that explains what we see over here. The river swelled so high so quickly that it was able to tip over the bridge holding up the railway line. You can see all of the trees, the debris that it collected further upriver. It just became this wall of water knocking down everything in its path. This is a scene of destruction that is just incredible. This town has never seen anything like this. For generations this town has lived off the river and all that it brings. But now as extreme weather hits this once tranquil valley, the waters have turned against them. Atika schubert for cnn in altinar, germany. In the United States dry thunderstorms and high temperatures this weekend are raising the risk of more wildfires. Already there are at least 70 large fires across 11 states, mostly in the west. The national Interagency Fire Center says the wildfires have burned more than A Million acres. Oregon has seen the most land charred by far thanks in part to the largest fire in the u. S. This year. The Bootleg Fire started early this month, and its spreading at an astounding average rate of 1,000 acres an hour. Its only 22 contained. Joining me now is Meteorologist Derek Van dam. Wha what are you seeing, derek . Yeah, that Bootleg Fire is concerning as well. The good news is that the containment has improved from about 24 hours ago when we reported on it yesterday it was at 7 . Now at 22 . But look at that 220,000 plus acres burned, and you mention the fire spread. 1,000 acres an hour, that is like burning a football every 5 seconds. That puts it into context, right . Lots of dry vegetation over the western u. S. So dry this Bootleg Fire is so intense its creating these infernoes in up draft, pyr clouds, look at the little sparks thats the Bootleg Fire from space. Youre noticing the Draft Trum this. Theres an Aerial Photofwrf of the Bootleg Fire. These clouds they rise about 30,000 feet into the atmosphere. They can generate lightening thats often dry lightening so it can often spread additional fires called spot fires. Now, we have the highest Fire Alert Level nationally across the u. S. At the moment. Its a level 5. This is the highest level in over a decade this early in the year. That means that so much of our resources are being dedicate today the ongoing fires, over 70 of them over the western u. S. The potential exists as we carry on into the season that we play deplete all of our resources. This is amongst the backdrop of a drought happening over the western u. S. , 95 of that area covered by drought conditions. Look at the smoke pluming from numerous fires from california to oregon. That means bad quality of air across the western u. S. That spreads from the West Coast to the East Coast this week with high Fire Danger in control of the Weather Forecast in california to oregon once again today. Looking very dire. Derek, thanks. Derek Van Dam there for us. Now, the wife of haitis assassinated president returned to the island On Saturday in preparation for his funeral.

Introducing the wildly civilized Allnew 3row Jeep grand Cherokee L lets take a look how Vaccination Campaigns are going around the world. After a slow start canada making up for lost time. The country now has more than 48 of its total population fully vaccinated. This is according to john hopkins university. Nearly 82 Million vaccines have been administered across the u. K. And nearly 68 of british adults have already received both shots. British Health Officials say every adult has been offered at least one shot by now, and it means every adult will have the chance to receive both doses by september. Now, it is a far different story in africa where vaccines are in short Supply And Covid cases and deaths are starting to soar. Lets have a look at the map. It shows that in almost every african nation less than 11 of the population is fully vaccinated. Meanwhile cases have been rising across the continent for eight weeks in a row. And covid deaths were up more than 40 in the first week of july. Now, for more were joined by the global ceo of Health Africa in nairobi, kenya. And thanks so much for being with us. First of all, give us a brief idea how serious the overall Covid Situation is for the continent, and whats the trajectory . Its kind of a very devastating wave, you know . And it is we know very well that the Third Wave is actually worse than the second that we had. In many ways, Number One, its accelerating faster. Number two, is that it is creating more severe disease and also with more young people involved. And that has resulted in a rapid rise in death and cases as well. And its not looking good, and its looking like unless we can vaccinate fast enough this is going to continue. So one study in the germ of the lancet found and this is sort to what youre saying there, found those who suffer from covid or severe covid in africa are more likely to die than patients in other parts of the world because of issues with things like equipment, supplies, health care, infrastructure. What are the immediate needs . I mean things like oxygen supplies, ventilators, hospital capacity, that sort of thing . Well, i think, you know, the fact is that the Covid Pandemic has come to africa at a time when we already have a suboptimal health system. And that has, you know, many things around it. And the least of either one of them is actually financing. If you look at investment in health, the public Expenditure Health in euro is 4,000 per capita. In africa it ranges anywhere for 10 or 20 per capita. When you get a pandemic like this then youd expect that the care needed for from the health system, the immediate care is not there. It is same for diseases. Youre more likely to die of severe disease in africa than you are in other parts of the continent. This is really the issue. Right. In the u. S. And some other places the Vaccine Doses have literally been discarded because of a lack of demand. They have far mor more than they need. One study said by The End of august rich nations will have nearly 2 Billion more doses than they need. What do africans think when they hear that . Do they feel abandoned or forgotten by the rich nations . Exactly. And also the feeling that you can never rely on any other country or any other nation or any other geography for your own Security And Health security. And africans now feel that has existed between the people and rich nations is going to increase if we have almost 11 Billion doses being produced and only 900 Million of them are available and most of them are from china, meaning all the vaccines are not available for purchase for african countries. So this is a catastrophic moral failure, thats how we feel. A vaccine delayed is a vaccine denied. Its not about getting vaccines in the future. Its about rich countries releasing the doses that they have actually out of greed booked, and releasing them to ensure theyre available for people in africa. Here in the State Of Georgia where i am they literally threw out doses the other day because they didnt have the demand for it. With the low Vaccination Rate overall particularly fully vaccinated africans, what is the outlook then for Vaccine Doses to get to african nations in the necessary amount . And why is it so difficult to get . Is covax working . Covax is working, but covax has been met by the brutal immoral force of rich nations. I think what happened is covax had actually had a pipeline, and this pipeline was dependent on the Production Capacity of the world. And if you go around and then the rest of the village is angry. This is the issue here that covax is working. Its not production pipeline. Its mechanism for supplying them to our nation. So covax is working, but the Supply Pipeline is being released by the rich nation. So africa is looking at covax continuously and also looking at the African Union through the task people, and we are actually in many countries practicing through the African Union, but this needs to be accelerated. We need to accelerate to sacve lives. And as weve said many times rich nations will bear the brunt of variants that emerge in places where there is rampant spread. So it is a global issue.
